Water Gypsy
That was my first thought too but i read it has something to do with segregation and the police. I Always thought the away end was 3000 at the walkers anyway so no different from when we played forest at home etc...
The away end can be made as big or as small as required, simply by moving the segregation. All the play-off clubs (+ Swansea when it was still possible for them) were told by the League that they had to allocate 2,000 tickets to the away fans. We have given more to Cardiff because our own fans haven't bought the tickets - and to avoid the possibility of Cardiff fans buying home end tickets in the General Sale with all the problems that would bring.
